It actually is rather thoughtful for someone who, through life circumstance, has apparently never needed to think about this and who is not exactly known for thinking.

How is this fundamentally different from what's happening to the Marvel and DC universes? Seriously, I'm asking. Is it because Star Wars started in the movies? Or that it has so much more... stuff?

It's not so much the dark that's full of horrors as it is the grey areas that are full of them. And with this we are in that very horrible grey area of "But she REALLY wanted it/was asking for it/deserved it".

As with racism, if you have to preface your argument with, "I'm not sexist, but..." then you might be a sexist.

Regardless of the rightness/wrongness of this, it was worth it for "So this is your slaughtering younglings phase?"

"They're gold, but... but they're not... ROUND!"

I'm at work so I have the sound off. Is the Benny Hill theme music playing?

Sure, we've "conquered the threat of extinction" today, but as long we have the means to wipe ourselves out (and we have several), we could be conquered by it tomorrow. Mayans notwithstanding.

Then why doesn't my mirror image have a goatee?

The black guys are Highlanders. There can be only one!

Also Irish and I'd like to think I'm not overly sensitive about such things but I agree this episode was offensive. Can't wait to get the set and watch it so I can shake my fist at the screen! But I'll try not to throw my beer can.

Sorry for not responding, but I didn't realize I had in Inbox here. :-) Anyway, it's not so much an aspect of Republican platforms as it is (or seems to be anyway) a large aspect of Republican thinking. And while I don't want to assume that Aiken and others speak for all Republicans, if they don't, the others are…

Starmasher is one of the girl names, right?

First off, let me say that I know there's something wrong with me, but in the "Help For the Holidays" description, I read part of it as: "getting *boned* to tears up in the Pole"

If the previous movie focused on Nero the way this one does, would it have been called Star Trek Into Dampness?

Um, #6, the right hand photo: WHAT IS THAT HANGING FROM THE CEILING???

I disagree. To me, there is no size at which thing is NOT terrifying.

Seriously. "And if she were, for instance, raped, the rapist would die a horrible death." Since when is Whedon a Republican?
